Here's a little situation... You're getting intimate with your partner, everything is going well, and then you receive a message or notification: what do you do? If you answer that you look at your mobile phone, then you are part of the 10% of people who look at their mobile phones during sex.

A recent American study by SureCall made this finding. According to their research, among the 1,000 participants, 18-34-year-olds were twice as likely to look at their phone as 35-51-year-olds.

This study was originally intended to show people's addiction to smartphones. 75% of these people admitted to sleeping with their mobile phone and 69% confessed to being on their phone while using the toilet!
